   Hi Andy..   
      
    AB> Hello,   
      
    AB>     Is anyone able to recommend an affordable SWR meter   
    AB> for use on frequencies below 500 MHz?  I have a 10m mag   
    AB> -mount to trim and a 70cm dipole to put up at home.   
      
    AB> Thanks,

   Do you have access to a local library that has the QST magazines there you can   
   read?  If you do you can see, for example, the major page after page listing   
   for the MFJ company.  It has a really decent MFJ Analyzers on page 141 and a   
   pile of antenna tuners on page 145 of the May 2017 issue that all have SWR   
   meters on them.  MFJ also has SWR meters only but not in the QST issue.  You   
   can get on the Internet and do a search for 'SWR Meter' and my Seamonkey   
   Browser will immediately pop up a complete listing of all the MFJ models.  It   
   has been a long time since I've bought this stuff but this should get you   
   started well.  I've never had any bad luck with the MFJ brand of many of these   
   I have at various locations but not where I am entering this answer to you   
   from now.
